QE SuperResolution
Extract frames from videos

QE SuperResolution is a tool for enhancing the quality and resolution of images. It is based upon combining image information from several similar images taken from a movie sequence, or consecutive shots from a still camera.

The software automatically extracts the information about a particular region of interest from all images, and uses the information to recreate an image with higher resolution and quality, compared to any individual image of the sequence.

This software is currently optimized for video sequences from DV (digital video) camcorders. Material from other video sources can be used as well, however, the quality of the enhanced image may depend on the quality of the source.

Quick Media Converter
Video and audio Universal Multi Formats conversion application


Quick Media Converter (QMC) is a universal video converter that was specifically designed to convert video formats to other video formats, to do this we are using open source code from a software engine called FFMPEG using its own codec library and Player.

Our experience on the Web has showed us that many users were lost when they had to deal with video and audio conversion, many of the applications available to them, were most of the time, too complicated, too slow, too limited or too costly. We therefore decided to take that into account and we started developing with only one idea in mind, the application had to be free, versatile, fast and most of all very user friendly.

Most users are not computer or video engineers, they also pretty much need the same settings and have no time to waste in experimentation when they want to convert a media. We therefore made the assumption that standard formats with good video and audio output quality was greatly needed and would be more than welcome by a large number of users.

What can you do with Quick Media Converter?

-Converting Video files from one format to another.
-Converting Audio files from one format to another.
-Extracting and converting Audio files from video or audio media.
-Extracting and converting Video without sound.
-Preview and/or listen to video and audio files with FFPLAY Multi format player (Fabrice Bellard).
- A myriad of formats is recognized by FFmpeg, those not recognized yet, are worked on by many people around the open source community and may most of the time, become available sooner or later.
-Many files to convert? No worry, batch files processing is also supported by QMC.
-You are lazy by nature and do not wish to start selecting files? That’s okay just drag and drop the files in the active worksheet.
-You have more specific needs and want to experiment with video and audio conversion, you can do so by using our Expert mode section.
-You want to capture a movie or picture directly from your webcam or DV Cam, just click on the webcam button and start capturing in raw flux or avi divx , after this is done the software will offer you to convert your file to other formats.
-You want to make a tutorial or capture your latest performance in your favorite video game? just click on Camstudio (open source) start recording and add comments on your avi divx movie output.

-Access our support forum directly from our application to get help, we usually respond to your questions within one day or two. We do not support expert mode in general as by essence if you use it you are considered an expert user

CombiMovie
Join MPEG files

CombiMovie is an application to combine two or more mpg/mpeg files into one continuous mpg file. It works very fast, as fast as copying the files! How come? Because what it does is only reading the sourcefiles, grab the meaningful bytes and then write it into the target files. Thanks to the robust mpg file structure.

As you may have noticed, there are many people who put their home movie on the internet in a set of small runable mpgs (less than 3MB each) to make it easier to download. CombiMovie was made to make it possible for those who download these mpgs to put them back again later. CombiMovie is also suitable to join mpegs created using digital camera. Just put it in a folder and open it.

Since each peaces of these mpgs are runable, loophole on the serie will not stop the combined file from running (although some scene will be missing then).
